Police Hope to Identify Hungry Thief

(La Porte County, IN) - La Porte County Police are trying to identify a shoplifter who apparently had a huge appetite.

 

At about 8:30 last night, an officer responded to the Dollar General on U.S. 35 in Kingsbury, where an employee was previously helping a man, wearing tan-colored overalls and carrying four frozen pizzas and a cream pie, find an item near the front doors. 

 

The worker told the officer she looked away briefly before spotting the man grab a phone charger and quickly exit the store without paying for any of the items. Authorities note that the shoplifter fled in a black sedan with another man, who was also in the store but didn’t take anything. 

 

The thief was further described as having blonde hair, a beard, and wearing a black snapback hat. Investigators are hoping to obtain pictures of the men from store surveillance video in hopes of making an arrest.
